Hello Product Manager, 

We are always working hard to support our partners; we may not have a project ready for kick-off right now, but if you are interested in being a part of Code 4 Canada in the future, when a new project starts. Please apply, and we will be in contact if you meet the requirements. 

In the meantime, thank you for following and wanting to be a part of Code 4 Canada. Below are general details about being a Product Manager at Code 4 Canada.

About Code for Canada

Code for Canada is a national non-profit that enables governments to deliver better digital services and empowers communities to solve civic challenges. We connect residents, government innovators and civic technologists, so they can work together to build a better nation.

As part of our mission, we form cross-functional product teams composed of product managers, UX designers and developers and embed them on government projects. Not only are these teams helping build products and services, but the team is also tasked with building digital capacity among government partners.

What you'll do

You'll be part of a small cross-functional team (one developer, one designer, and one Product Manager) to build a digital product that addresses a public service need.

As a team, you'll be responsible for all aspects of the product development process. You will coordinate closely with internal IT teams to ensure that the product is well-positioned for long-term sustainment after the completion of your contract.

You'll work shoulder to shoulder with public servants who are subject matter experts, learning from them about their domain and helping them understand the approaches, tools, and processes of digital teams.

The details

  • Job type: full-time, fixed-term, engagement will vary based on the project. 
  • Target start date: TBC- Candidates must pass the government security clearance process before confirming the start date. This process can be slow, depending on the partner. It can take over 10 weeks once an investigator is assigned. 
  • Salary range: Varies on experience 
  • Location: anywhere in Canada
  • Note: Although a remote position, some partners require proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
